Image Sensors Market Size , Growth, Analysis, Share, Research Trends and Forecasts to 2020: Hexa Research

Rising demand for camera enabled devices such as tablets, phones, PC and digital camera is expected to drive the image sensors market. Optical images are converted into electrical signals by image sensors which have replaced the traditional cameras. Increasing digital cameras in the recent years is expected to further fuel the market demand. Digital cameras use light cavaties and array of photosites to record the image. Depending upon the image sensor, the camera uses the light to create an image. Depending upon the sensors the quality of the image varies. Larger sensors are used in digital cameras for better picture quality and small image sensors are used in mobile phones. Additionally, digital cameras such as DSLRs are also fitted with interchangeable lens with large sensors.  

Technology Insights

Technology includes complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS), charge-coupled device (CCD) and contact image sensors (CIS). CCD technology helps image sensors to charge the capacitors automatically by absorbing the light which is converted to numerical value to produce the image. These sensors are widely used by scientific and medical devices. CMOS image sensors have transistors which contains a photo detector that absorbs light and is converted to optical signal. In low light sensitivity, CMOS sensors enable electronic pan, stabilization and tilt to get high quality images. Image sensors are portable which consume lesser power and cost efficient when compared with the other products. The sensors cannot be used for scanning. Technological advancements in consumer electronics have driven the market demand. CIS used for scanning a document by directing the gathered light from green, blue and red. These sensors are used in smaller components as they require less power and their compact nature.
